Chapter 317 We Were All Deceived

Lenora gazed into Zachary's eyes for what seemed like a long time.

She finally confirmed that Zachary wasn't deceiving her

With her lips slightly parted, Lenora asked in confusion, "Why Johanne?"

How could it be Johanne?

She felt completely disoriented, as if she had been struck by lightning.

How could Johanne possibly be connected to the kidnapping case and her father's death? 10 Free Go

Gerald had once shared with her that the idea to adopt her was first proposed by Johanne. He had suggested it as a way to express his gratitude for her father's life-saving liver donation. Because of this, she had always held him in high regard.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind. She remembered Connor once mentioned that the person who had sent their family abroad had six fingers on his left hand. Johanne's driver also had six fingers, but she had never connected the dots between them... Seeing Lenora's question, Zachary gave a bitter smile. "Surprised, aren't you? When I first heard the news, I had the same reaction as you."

"What on earth is going on?" Lenora was still utterly confused. "W-Why would he want to kidnap Susanna..."

At that time, Susanna was Zachary's girlfriend and Johanne's sister-in-law, Why would Johanne want to kidnap Susanna?

"Kidnap Susanna?" Zachary chuckled lightly, shaking his head. "We've all been deceived..."

"What does that mean?"

Zachary looked at Lenora with a grave expression. The kidnapping case never existed from the start. It

was all a charade."

Lenora stared at Zachary, momentarily at a loss for words.

The kidnapping case was a hoax?

Then what did her father's death amount to?

"Do you recall what Mallory said on New Year's Eve? She accused him of having another woman. He insisted his relationship with that woman was innocent but he refused to reveal her identity to her."

A chilling thought flashed through Lenora's mind, causing a slight furrow in her brows and a subtle movement of her lips.

"You guessed it."

"Is it Susanna?" A vague understanding dawned upon Lenora that this might just be the answer, but it still
